The Cisco Identity Services Engine is a next-generation identity and access control policy platform that enables enterprises to enable new business services, enhance infrastructure security, enforce compliance, and streamline service operations. Its unique architecture allows enterprises to gather real-time contextual information from networks, users, and devices to make proactive governance decisions by enforcing policy across the network infrastructure - wired, wireless, and remote. The Cisco Identity Services Engine is an integral component of the Cisco TrustSec solution and SecureX architecture.
The Cisco Identity Services Engine provides a single policy plane across the entire organization that combines multiple services, including authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), posture, profiling, device on-boarding, and guest management, on a common platform. This reduces complexity and provides consistency across the enterprise. Using the Cisco Identity Services Engine, administrators can centrally create and manage access control policies for users and endpoints in a consistent fashion and gain end-to-end visibility into everything that is connected to the network.
